Following their takeover of Slime’s slave pits, The Nettlers (and Taeros) find themselves in the troubling position of deciding what to do with an army of brainwashed soldiers who have been programmed for unquestioning obedience. Pendrel and Avon set out to discover a way to restore free will to these poor kidnapped souls, but the magic used to purge it from them seems to be far more invasive than anyone thought, and only one with the blessing of the gods can perform the necessary counter-ritual. Among the slaves, the group discovers a fighter with giant metallic hands, an experimental super soldier named Hob who joins the group in their quest to slay the dracolich. Can they defeat the beast and bring an end to the necrotic chili horrors rampaging through the north? Will they be able to free the slave army from Slime’s mind-erasing magic? And what of the scheming sorcerers whose machinations originally led to their hometown’s woes? Listen to find out!
